Quick Answer:
Short Answer
No. Roll-2-Roll's wide-aperture sensors (up to 960mm) accommodate multiple web widths without repositioning.
No. Roll-2-Roll® Sensors are available in apertures from 48mm to 960mm, allowing a single sensor to accommodate a wide range of web widths without repositioning.
For example, an ODC 288 sensor can detect edges anywhere within its 288mm (11.3 in) sensing range. Whether you're running a 100mm web or a 250mm web, the sensor detects the edge without adjustment.
This eliminates:
- Changeover time: No 2–5 minute delays for sensor repositioning between SKUs
- Operator error: No risk of incorrect sensor positioning
- Motorized positioners: No additional hardware cost or maintenance
Combined with material-agnostic detection (no recalibration between clear films, opaque substrates, or metallic foils), Roll-2-Roll® Sensors enable true "set and forget" operation.
